A few days before day 14 of the popular first division of Spanish football Madrid is still leading with a total of 3 points. While the number 3 appears small Barcelona fans start to be scared and rightfully so. A victory gives exactly 3 points in the league, which means that 
the in the best case scenario for Barcelona fans (Madrid looses next round while F.C. Barcelona wins) their team would just break even.
The tension rises and fans give everything to support their teams. Every goal counts and every point is crucial. Both teams will play on this Saturday evening the 26th and both will be striving for victory without a break or hesitation.
Today and tomorrow the heroes or arch enemies from Barcelona and Madrid will step their feet on the grass but for unrelated matches in the European Champions League. On the 10th of December the Giants will finally face each other in what has to be one of the biggest and best matches of the year. On the 11th of December the first League will be over after 17 playing days and the team with the most point has won.
In your opinion: Who will make the race? Which team will win the cup? Is the 3 point advantage deciding or can Barcelona catch up? Which teams has the best players, the best coach and probably most important the best fans. Share your opinion with us and feel free to debate or comment the league with us here in our blog.
